More about this course
- It's widely known that some diseases run in families. The discovery of the structure of DNA and the unravelling of the genetic code has led to a deeper understanding of such diseases. We now know more about the genetic basis of cancer and how cancer cells are formed and reproduce. On this course you'll explore the structure of DNA, its processes and learn how genetic disease results from DNA alterations. You'll look closely at the nature of these changes, causes and risk factors - this is vital in the case of cancer, as prevention has proved to be an effective way of managing this disease.
